That means that GH is watched in more households, but in those households, fewer people are watching together.

Days, meanwhile, is watched in FEWER households... but they're watched by larger groups of people together, meaning that Days is actually viewed by more people -- just in bigger groups, and fewer homes.

Yeah and in all my years of living I've only known of 1 family friend who was asked to participate in that family journal thing and even he admitted to me he didn't always write in what he was watching. So there goes the accuracy...Seriously, they have no idea who watches what show and when and how many people are sitting there watching it. Absolutely no way.

And do the boxes on the TV really know if you tape a soap everyday and report that to the Nelson's? Ratings are shady...

Your right, it definetly is not accurate and until a nielsen improves the way that they count viewers, the ratings will always be flawed.

I don't know if the boxes can tell if something is being taped or not, I am sure there is something we are missing in this process, they can't just say total viewers are this without SOME SORT of direct information.

Yeah, they have to be able to base it off something - I wish they would just outright tell us all the rules and how exactly they get their ratings info. Shouldn't there be a regulatory agency out there that requires that?? haha, I really am just curious...Maybe I'll write the Nielson's.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
